Baylor-Texas — Can BU win, even if the Longhorns are for real? Plus Looking back at series' best, rekindling Aggie rivalry

We're joined by Austin American-Statesman royalty Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) and Cedric Golden (@CedGolden), along with the Trib's Baylor beat writer Zach Smith (@byzachsmith) and sports editor Brice Cherry (@BriceCherry), ready to dig into some BU and Big 12 football talk: 

1. It's the 113th meeting between Baylor and Texas on Saturday at McLane Stadium. And while Texas has bred skepticism for many of us, beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa is maybe turning public opinion toward the Longhorns. What makes this UT squad different than some of those overhyped groups in recent memory? 

2. Given where Texas is right now — and where Baylor isn't, so far — oddsmakers have installed the Longhorns as a two-touchdown favorite. Dave Aranda said this week that he heard all offseason that beating Texas was the No. 1 game everyone wants to win, even if that's the only one. What are the chances, if any, of a Bears upset in Waco? 

3. The Baylor-Texas "rivalry" is pretty lopsided, let's be honest, but Brice is looking back at the top 13 games in the 113-year history this week. With many, many decades of experience between the assembled writers, what's your most memorable moment, personality, etc. from the annals of Bears-Longhorns history? 

4. The Longhorns' move to the SEC will obviously end this rivalry, at least for awhile, as well as Texas' tussles with Texas Tech and TCU. But of course, UT will rekindle some old rivalries like Arkansas and, of course, Texas A&M. What's the anticipation like in Austin for that Aggie-Longhorn reunion?
